THE PHOENIX IS REBORN FROM ITS ASHES
The wave of Revival Nu Metal seems to be going on and, rather than thinking badly of this album that is actually a bit monotonous, it is now worth reflecting on in general.

boring deftones worship slop, the effect chino moreno has had on music should be studied and reverted if we keep getting stuff like this im so tired. album cover is highkey the best part
